Vor Dem Schloss
Bless the nightThat brings me visitors
To pass the empty days.
Gentlemen,
I savor ev'ry guest,
You must not shy away …
Fear is my mantle,
The night, my domain.
Welcome to my castle,
Count von Krolock is my name.
Bless the night
That shrouds all ugliness
From unprotected eyes.
In dark dreams
It softly stirs
And bids the restless dead to rise.
Follow me
Into my darkness
And you'll never say goodbye!
Because he who joins me freely, should he dare,
Gains the answers to ev'ry question, old and rare.
The mysteries of my world can be yours to share.
I have longed for company
In my lonely universe.
The future's ancient history,
The present is a curse.
The sea of time flows endlessly,
But we're marooned on its shores forever.
No escaping the misery
Of a sorrow that eases never . . .
